"A woman who had adhered strictly to the low-carbohydrate, high-protein Atkins diet was hospitalized with severe ketoacidosis" http://www.medpagetoday.com/Primary...trition/tb/2878

I have been eating 90% meat or eggs and about 10% veggies and fruit. Am I in trouble? I've been also drinking quite a bit of herbal tea and have not noticed any unusual smell to my urine. Is the key to minimizing ketoacidosis drinking alot of fluids? I feel much better on Neanderthin than I ever did on Atkins.

From http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic135.htm :





So low-carbing should present no problems because it stabilizes blood sugar...it should only be a concern if you have type 1 diabetes.

There is another huge thread about this article/woman here-

And yes, if you knew before low carbing that you were otherwise healthy and not a type 1 diabetic, you should be fine. But do not take my word for it, take Dr Atkins, Dr Bernstein and the text of the thread in the link....

also you should not have a problem if you get anough water to flush out the ketones.if the stick is dark pink you are not getting anough water, you should stay in the middle..I hate water!!

THATS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you need to do is read this: http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/...06/03/post.html

Then you'll realize it was doctor incompetence.

I'll take it a step further than that Nancy, I think it was Doctor's agenda, I think he did it on purpose..........
